From the above bleaching earth grade selector it can be seen that different edible oils and fats require different grades of bleaching earth, which will again vary in their dosage. The true cost performance when using AMC bleaching earths in the refining of oils and fats are made up of the following 4 groups of costs.

Bleaching earth is utilised in the refining of edible vegetable oils and fats, speciality oils and fats such as fish oils and fish oil concentrates, typically Omega-3 fish oils EPA &DHA. In addition, bleaching earths are also utilised in the petro chemical industry, utilised in the BTX process and biodiesel industry.

To complement the supply of activated bleaching earth, AMC also supplies cold based activated carbon which may be used when bleaching oils and fats with consideration to the PAH content. Having a highly developed porous structure and a very high surface area of approximately 1,000 m² per cc, the activated carbon has a desirable pour size distribution, presenting excellent physical properties. AMC activated carbon has an iodine number of 800mg/g and ash value of maximum 15%, moisture content of a maximum value of 5% and a particle size of 30 to 200 mesh

REACH regulation came into force 1st June 2013 and replaces the old system of Regulation Registration, Authourisation and Restriction of chemicals and acts to control the import of chemical products from outside the EU with the following aims in mind.

Our current daily diet now contains more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids and this has increased over time and is considered negatively when considering the human diet.

The name bentonite derives from large deposits of clay mineral associated with Bentonite shale at Rock River, Montana USA. Some 85% of bentonite consists of forms of aluminium silicate known as montmorillonite which was identified in 1847 at Montmorillon France. Calcium montmorillonite is readily leached with mineral acid increasing its adsorption, surface area and catalytic activity.
